Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through John Schneider’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
John Schneider – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director John Schneider and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the John Schneider production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About John Schneider’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, John Schneider and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

The best way to avoid this is to create dialogue reversals. Don’t overcomplicate this. A reversal is nothing more than a mini-twist. Some writers add a twist to create a plot point or every ten pages. Both are good, but pros know that every scene should have a visual or a dialogue reversal. It’s just a mini-twist. Have the character say something unexpected. If the audience has been watching a heroine desperate to get married, then her boyfriend finally pops the question and she says ‘No’, then the writer has create a reversal.
Have you ever been told your dialogue is on-the-nose, too direct, too straightforward or ordinary? What does this really mean? It means the characters are saying exactly what we expect them to say and this creates boring and often flat-sounding dialogue.
John Schneider – Dialogue Reversals
Dialogue should be shorter and faster as the story nears its end. This gives the sense that the story is wrapping up. The exception might be a speech given by the hero. As noted above, keep the speech but break it up with action and/or description. If the pacing is really fast in the end, I’d advise the writer to break up the long speech with other scenes, then come back to it.
SEQUENCE SEVEN CLIMAX
John Schneider – But now Tom has another revelation when his father separates from his current girlfriend and comes to stay with Tom on his boat. Tom clearly doesn’t want to be like his father, and when his father says, “Come on, has anyone ever ‘filled your heart with joy’?” Tom has the realization that Meg has. So he starts his FINAL PLAN to win her: he is going to court her as himself and make her fall in love with him.
Somehow that doesn’t come across, even when Tom sees Meg visiting the children’s section of his own store and she cries as she directs a customer to a book that the hapless superstore clerk has never heard of. I get Meg’s pain, there, but there’s not enough effect on Tom.
At least, that’s what is missing for me, emotionally and structurally.
